These are a Great Sled. The SX model was a 1 year build. much faster than previous Exciter 570 model years. The unitized Flat slide carbs made a world of difference on this motor. Enjoy the ride, I enjoy your videos.
Pretty decent. I owned one from new for 4 years and it was one of my favorite Yamaha’s and I had several. Yamaha did all you needed in the engine department, if it runs good and has good compression leave it alone. The stock Yokohama track was junk, I replaced mine with a Camoplast Challenger 1” part #9793 no longer made but it hooked way better and was 8 pounds lighter. I’d look for a decent Camso track for it. The stock primary clutch was ok but I’d find a newer YXR primary with the better nylon bushings, 1995 or newer. Finally if you can track one down a Bender Racing single pipe works fantastic and made another 8-10 hp. Best one made for this sled, I dyno’d them all. My SX was a rocket, had the throttle response of a YZ dirt bike. Miss that sled, mine was serial number 1363.
@@garagenerd1951 wow do a video on that sled for me please I am 46 and remember them back in the day and tell my son who is getting his class done for his license to go riding with me we live in Polk country wi

Thanks for watching. I do enjoy the sx for sure!!
Nice collection of sleds you have I like old Yamaha’s as well. I just got an 03 viper sx triple.having some starting issues with it however.
I'll tell you one thing I have one, and you're gonna love it! Once you do some vendor clutching you're laughing all the way to the bank as they say
Nice sled man. Skis, track , fix the seat and just shine it up a bit that thing will look awesome on the snow
I agree! I dont want to get too crazy on this one.
Congrats!! That's a real rocket! Really snappy and goes real fast when running right!!👍👍 Great find!! Best regards / Danne. 🇸🇪
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the information! I put a 3/4" track on this one and it worked great! Unfortunately I've sold this one. Wishing I kept it.
Just bought the same sled for 1500 CAD can’t wait for the snow to hit
Nice! I am also excited. Just waiting for the seat to be done.
Awesome find , I bet you'll get bored and rebuild it back to brand new .
I found a 91 with 3280 miles on it so I have a question did they make a belly pan protected for them !
how much did you pick it up for? Nice Sled
I know someone who owned one… everyone called him exciter Johnny

You are such a wise man.
